    Taylor did a better job on Froch than Kessler

    For 11 rounds, Taylor made a better job on Froch than Kessler did, even dropped him hard, which thing Kessler couldn't do.

    Kessler-Froch was a close fight, some people claiming it could have gone either way.

    Taylor shut Froch out on all judges cards.

    Taylor was boxing and countering. Kessler was chasing and getting hit a lot.

    It is for you to debate.

    Taylor is a good boxer though just has poor stamina.

        I agree.

        I had Taylor clearly ahead before Froch stopped him in the 12th round.

        Kessler just edged Froch imo. close fight.

          Taylor whooped the **** out of Froch, but I think Kessler went to the body better on Froch. Ashame Taylor couldn't get past the 12th round.

              Froch was up 106-102 on one of the cards vs. Taylor.

                Taylor/froch wasn't that wide sure Froch would have needed Knockdowns or a ko going into round 12, fact is he got 2 KD's and ultimately a KO. Due to Taylor knocking him down and a slow start (much slower then vs Kessler) he was very far behind but it was getting a lot closer towards the end.

                I guess judges don't score till the end of rounds either, so Froch who was a couple rounds behind maybe pressured Taylor and eventually got multiple KD's, it was a great recovery by him.

                  That judge must have been British or smoked crack before the fight, maybe that judge hates blacks because Froch was definitely not out pointing Taylor!

                    froch came forward against JT. against kessler froch fought off his back foot. IMHO, that was the strategic mistake that lost him the fight. froch needed to make it a brawl. he should know by now he ain't out-skilling anyone.
